Question #1:
I feel like my boyfriend takes me for granted?
I've been with my boyfriend for almost a year a half, im 17 and he's 18 (yea i know we're yong but you know young love etc age shouldn't really make a difference because its obviously nothing silly its been over a year together)Obviously in the first 6 months we had our honeymoon period all happy lovey dovey constant complimenting oh i love you so much!! etc all that business
Now as we've progressed right into the thick of it, i sometimes feel like he takes me a little for granted. He doesn't compliment me as much, he will do certain things say i look nice etc and he has photos of us all round his room and wears a bracelet with my name on it.... but we hardly say I love you and i know that i should expect he dose but sometimes its nice to hear it
Im unsure cos i wanna tell him like I feel like you take me for granted sometimes or you never compliment me etc but he'll probably say i'm nagging him etc
Do you know any hints i could drop? I compliment him or say i love you but he doesn't say it back.... sounds like he doesn't like me but he most likely wants to be with me because he would of told me by now (as its happened before)
Also he has said to me before that he isn't a romantic person...
anyway, any hints?
been with him almost a year *and a half (Sorry typing mistake)

Question #3:
What type of income can a tax prepared make?
I was thinking about taking a tax preparer course and do taxes for people and was wondering if it is a good idea. The way I am thinking, it would be cheaper for someone to pay me instead of paying a big tax chain store. After taking the course, I think you have to take one extra day course for the state and then get hooked up with a tax identification number to do others? Is this correct? This will help with my own taxes also, tax break wise I think. Maybe I could get a grant to start up my own business. Has anybody done this for themselves, and if so, what is realistic? I need to change careers and have had it with working for others. This may be a thing for me.I am thinking: Pass the course, get the Tax I.D. to prepare, buy a software program, and get busy for the tax season.
Question #4:
veteran starting business capital?
I am a war on terror veteran and want to start a small business but dont have the capital for initial rent and things of such nature. Anyone know of any grants or programs that can help me start this? I am in CA. and an active duty veteran with a 30% disability rating.henry you're the man...
Question #5:
Now that I think of it, is it good for Undertaker to face Jericho at WM 27 & Sheamus at WM 28?
Now, think about it for a second. I think we can erase the possibility of Undertaker vs Cena ever happening cause WWE got no balls to book that match.People have been saying Undertaker should face Sheamus at WM 27 cause the way Sheamus got booked but let's face it, Sheamus couldn't follow or let alone surpass two matches with Shawn Michaels even if his life depends on it, whereas Jericho (being the closest thing to HBK) is the best possible choice to actually follow two matches with Shawn Michaels. Chris Jericho is the best in the world at what he does. People would actually care of his match with Undertaker cause Y2J's a legend and he's got huge fanbase. His name alone attracts people.
Now comes the pale wrestler. It was amazing how Sheamus rose to the main event scene less than a year after his debut. Granted, he never had a legendary match and perhaps will never have one till he dies. Yet, Undertaker's last match (regardless of the fact Sheamus would probably lose cause Vince doesn't want The Strak to ever end) might be his chance to get the one and only legendary match in his career, being a future star and all. And the hype of it being Undertaker's last match would surely make people pay more attention than if it's not. Not to mention Sheamus would also be more experienced in two years and perhaps he would be able to gain some more name and some more credibility to both his status and wrestling skills so that he wouldn't embarrass himself for not being able to follow what Shawn Michaels did twice. Because 'hype' does matter in this business.
If Sheamus faces Undertaker at Wrestlemania 27, even the stupidest of mankind could tell Taker is going to win. Nice and easy. No attraction or hype. Just another stupid name added to The Streak cause it wasn't able to follow Undertaker's last two Wrestlemania matches. This won't happen with Jericho because although we all know he won't end The Streak, at least he's able to follow the magic of the last two Wrestlemanias cause he IS that good. And Y2J definitely isn't a stupid name.
But if Sheamus faces Undertaker on Taker's last match, I think fans will say more than 'easy win for Undertaker' or 'just another unworthy name to follow Gonzales, Bundy, Boss Man, A-Train and Henry' solely because the fact it IS Undertaker's last match. Which means anything could happen. And that means people will suspend their belief. And like I said above, Sheamus would perhaps become more experienced with time.
So, what do u say? Does Undertaker vs Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania 27 and Undertaker vs Sheamus at Wrestlemania 28 sound good enough for you?
Prince of Phenom, are u talking about WM 27 or 28? I don't really get the whole Sheamus or Drew vs Undertaker flotilla thing. Please be more precise (^^).

Anti-abortion Group Targets Democrats In Radio AdsAnti-abortion Group Relies On Supreme Court Ruling To Call For Defeat Of 3 Democrats
Font size Print E-mail Share
(AP) WASHINGTON (AP) - An anti-abortion group plans to air radio ads in three congressional races calling for the defeat of Democratic incumbents, among the first ads to capitalize on a Supreme Court ruling this year that freed corporations to directly influence elections.
The group, AUL Action, is targeting Democratic Reps. John Boccieri of Ohio, Christopher Carney of Pennsylvania and Baron Hill of Indiana. AUL Action is the legislative arm of the nonprofit Americans United for Life.
The ads cross a new threshold in campaign communication and embrace the latitude granted by the Supreme Court in its 5-4 decision in January to increase the power of corporations and unions to sway government decisions.
Ad spending is on a record pace as outside groups raise more money from corporations, individuals and unions. As the November general election nears, political strategists believe more groups will follow AUL's path.
AUL Action is incorporated as a nonprofit under section 501(c)4 of the tax code. As such, it now enjoys the expanded rights granted by the court. Before that ruling, groups such as AUL were limited to airing "issue ads" that drew attention to candidates positions but could not recommend whether voters should vote them in or out of office.
Audio clips of the ads were obtained by The Associated Press from a Republican strategist not affiliated with Americans United. The group confirmed the placement of the ads.
Last month, AUL relied on the court's decision to endorse Colorado Republican Jane Norton for the Senate. Norton eventually lost to tea party-backed candidate Ken Buck, a county prosecutor.
AUL Action says Boccieri, Carney and Hill are the first of about a dozen members of Congress it intends to target with ads. The one-minute ads are scheduled to begin airing Friday for one week. They criticize Boccieri, Hill and Carney for voting for President Barack Obama's health care law. In a statement, AUL Action President Charmaine Yoest said the vote amounted to "the largest expansion of federal funding of abortion ever."
"They will not be able to hide from that vote any longer," she said.
Before the bill passed, Obama signed an executive order affirming long-standing restrictions on taxpayer-funded abortions.
Under the law, private plans in new insurance markets opening for business in 2014 can cover abortion, but payment must come from enrollees themselves, not from federal tax credits that will be offered to make premiums more affordable.
In the ads, a female narrators says, "The life of an innocent child may not matter" to Boccieri, Hill and Carney.
"It's time to send someone to Washington who shares our values, not Nancy Pelosi's," the ads say.
(This version CORRECTS to show Boccieri represents Ohio, not Indiana.)
&&&& How does this affect the community or the U.S as a whole
Question #9:
The Movie "Machete" Causing a Stir Over Illegal Immigration?
The post is a little long but this is a shorter version:Rodriguez made a point of promoting the film a few months ago with a trailer that called out the state of Arizona for its controversial new immigration-policing law, stoking fears among anti-illegal immigration hardliners that the finished movie would be even more inflammatory than it is.
It also prompted the state of Texas to consider withholding filmmaker tax incentives from Rodriguez, a move that could have a devastating impact on movie production in a state that has become a haven for independent filmmaking thanks largely to Rodriguez himself.
And it could well stir up an anti-immigrant fervor that could hurt the film at the box office or even impact this fall's Congressional elections. That's a lot of backlash for one little movie full of laughably over-the-top violence and sexuality, but then, Rodriguez and his crew have hardwired outrage into 'Machete,' so they can't be too surprised if it riles people.
The movie isn't necessarily arguing for open borders or laxness in law enforcement; nor is it suggesting that current immigration policy is driven entirely by racism (though all the villains in the movie, even Mexican druglord Torrez, are played by white actors).
Rather, 'Machete' is saying that powerful interests (business, politics, even organized crime) are depending on illegal immigration (as a source of cheap labor, or as a way to stoke the fears of voters) to boost profits or shore up political power, all the while cynically exploiting illegal immigration as an issue and illegal immigrants themselves as pawns.
The carpetbagging senator likens illegal immigrants to terrorists and makes a campaign ad that compares them to maggots and parasites, but the real parasites in the film are the wealthy and powerful who prey on both immigrants fleeing to America and citizens who already live here.
There was some initial backlash. The panel at Fox News' late-night show 'Red Eye' took some potshots at the trailer, arguing that the movie fomented disrespect for law enforcement (though that's true of half the action movies made) and that opposition to illegal immigration isn't necessarily racist (not that the movie says it is, but that's a point not clear from the broad caricatures shown in the trailer).
FoxNews.com posted an alarmist article about the film ("Violent Movie Declares War on Arizona for Immigration Law," read the headline), which is no longer available to read at the website.
Syndicated radio talk show host Alex Jones (who, like Rodriguez, is based in Austin) claimed to have a final copy of the script and said that 'Machete' aimed to provoke a race war. (Whether or not Jones really did have a script, many of the inflammatory scenes he described do not appear in the final cut of the film.)
Jones criticized the Texas Film Commission for allowing Rodriguez to receive grants and tax incentives for the movie, especially after it had denied similar tax breaks to a proposed film called 'Waco,' about the 1993 raid on the Branch Davidian compound, under a Texas law that allows funding to be withheld for film projects that portray the state in an unflattering light.
Rodriguez may even receive some flak from Latinos, since the movie traffics in tongue-in-cheek racial stereotyping even among its heroes.
The underground resistance network is run from a taco truck. Machete infiltrates one villain's lair by pretending to be a gardener, and he attacks the bad guy's henchmen with pruning shears and a weed whacker. The illegal immigrants drive to the climactic battle in a fleet of pimped-out, bouncing lowriders.

Question #10:

I got my ABN in July and am now enrolled in the NEIS training program.Are there any other kinds of help available from federal, state or local governments organisations ?

Question #11:

I just started working for him today and i am having a hard time finding any. if you can help please help. L0L i dont wanna lose my job! we stay in Los Angeles California!Question #12:
Can someone help me understand how I am going to pay for college?
I live in Ontario Canada and as most Canadian know, we are one of the highest countries in the world that puts money towards education (besides France of course!) and I know that I can also get my education paid for (grants, loans, scholarships etc.) but I don't want to have to owe OSAP (Ontario Student Assistant Program) money for the first 10 years of my life. How can I pay for college without getting loans?!I will be going to college in September of 2011 so that give me 10-12 months to save!
I have searched and searched for scholarships, but the whole things is so confusing!
Also, while on my search for scholarships, I came across a forum saying that students have been writing to locally owned businesses and large corporations asking for money! Has anyone every tried doing this for real? Did it work for them? I know that this is Canada and I'm sure businesses/ people would LOVE to help each other out, but I'm still worried about asking. THANKS FOR READING!
Question #13:
How come Obama & Congress don't want to come clean on the real number of unemployed citizens in USA?
U.S. Dept of labor says 236 million are available to work in USA.Plus another 74 million are NOT available to work for total of 310 Million.
2009 IRS filings for business & individuals total around 140 million.
236-140=94million "not accounted for in the 2009 tax system".
So how many of approximate 94 million are income-less in poverty?
Say 30 million are not filing quarterlies, illegally operating a small business,that still leaves 64 million. And the media has been cramming 10% in your brains how long now?
How many legal immigrant citizen-ships have been granted the past 35 years in USA Huh?
This goes into deeper issues one being the Federal govt isn't concerning themselves with Tax base revenues cause they aren't even there to get etc. Yet the Federal govt is coming up with billions & trillions to spend all over the world. Some of you youngsters won't follow this but brace yourselves for the Draft!
Question #14:
Financial aid for postgraduate students?
(This question is about American universities). I've heard that it's much easier for international postgraduate students to get financial aid compared to undergraduate students. I also know that for certain subjects (medicine, law and business) financial aid isn't available while for others (science, math) it's very easily available. What about education? Would someone who wants to do a master's in education be able to easily get financial aid in the form of grants, teaching assistantships or research assistantships?Question #15:
Similarities between Pacquiao-Margarito and?
Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson? After all, Tyson was a disgraced boxer at the time, who had gone to prison, had his license revoked for the ear biting incident, and had to find a state that would grant him a boxing license. Leading up to the fight, fans cried that they were going to be boycotting the fight. Tyson had no business fighting after biting off Holyfield's ear, his out of the ring-antics were absolutely out of line, and he had already been KO'd by Buster Douglas and Evander Holyfield. On top of that, Lewis had already beat Holyfield who dominated Tyson.However, the fight did 1.9 million PPV buys.
Pac and Margarito aren't the stars that Tyson and Lewis were, but can this fight actually be a PPV success and do over 1,000,000 PPV buys? I'm actually starting to believe it can. With all the publicity, both positive and negative, surrounding the fight, the 24/7 HBO support, and fans constantly talking about it in chat rooms, I have a sneaky feeling this fight will do roughly 900,000-1.1 PPV buys.
What do you guys think? Yes, Dewey, it's a fixed fight between juicehead and cheater, I get it.
SirVon - how many PPV bouts in the last 10 years have been in stadiums and NOT hotel arenas. How many PPV bouts had a 70,000 seat capacity. Besides, unless you're AmericasFavoriteThug, most people have friends who watch with them. Going to Cowboys stadium in the cheapo seats with 2 buddies will cost $150, plus parking $50, plus beer and food. You're looking at $300 easily. Watching it at home with as many friends...$100. Sure, no one may believe Tyson raped Ms. Washington, but everyone saw Tyson bite off Holyfields ear and everyone saw Tyson get KO'd by Douglas and Holyfield. You're reasoning for America liking Tyson is because he was "hip hop"? This is boxing, not an Eminem video. Who gives a $hit about whether a fighter's hip hop or not?
Adding to the cost of attending the event, plane tickets and hotels for most people.
Of course it's going to be a great deal at $50. There's 70,000 seats available for Christ's sake! Let me guess, at $50, you're criticizing Arum. If he bumps it up to $100, you'd criticize him as well. They're going to have a large supply available, so accordingly, tickets will be more affordable. Or is Arum and Pacquiao blood suckers for making this fight affordable during the recession and with almost a 10% employment rate?
P-Will and Malignaggi are as "hip hop" as they come, and their fights do...well, it's not well. Are you saying that only "hip hop" fans spend big money?
So why were you NOT against a suspended cheater sparring against Lewis for a title? Tyson was also suspended, he was KO'd by Holyfield and Douglas, and he had a shot at Lewis? Sure he had a big name, but what else did he offer? How is this any different than Sugar Shane Mosley who was actually caught and admitted to, and was ON PED's when he fought ODLH? Why does Tyson and Mosley get a free pass and not Margarito? What if Mosley had seriously hurt ODLH in their fight? Would you continue to support him?
Let me get this straight SirVon, if this fight was at the welterweight limit of 147, you would be supportive? Because Tyson didn't have his license, he was a disgrace to boxing for what he did to Holyfield, and he had been KO'd twice. The only distinction is this is the Pac Marg's fight is at a catchweight and Tyson Lewis wasn't. So you're essentially saying that everything else you're supporting, just not the catchweight?
And why do the Vegas Hotels want the Pacquiao fight? Because asian high rollers GO TO THE FIGHT then blow their money in the casino. You think Asian high rollers just to to the casino for fight week and not watch the fight? Come on!
Why did you bring up HipHoppers blowing money then if you're only talking about PPV numbers or celebrities in the crowd if you're only talking about PPV numbers? I ask a question, you bring up something, I respond to what you bring up, then you say, "I thought you're question had to do with x". I don't get you sometimes.
Question #16:
Starting a graphic design business and looking for advice.?
I know a similar question has been asked before, but mine is a bit more specific. I am in a bit of desperation so I will keep this as short as possible. Graphic Design is what I LOVE. I find myself even depressed when I don't have any projects. I want to do this as a part time living, completely freelance. I am not looking to become wealthy doing graphic design, but instead just a little more financially secure. I don't have an hourly rate or locked fees. I let people tell me what they think my time and work are worth to them. People tend to give me much more reasonable offers this way than I previously thought. My question is THIS. Should I continue to just work from my house and continue doing things by e-mail and phone? I would really like the personal interaction with my clients and have an office for them to stop by whenever they feel and be able to talk with me about their ideas. The population in this town is about 6500 -7500 and as this is not a big town by any means. I live only an hour away in any direction from the nearest big towns. I don't even have a lot of clients, but they are loyal ones that is for sure. I have a website already that I use just as an online portfolio because I didn't see the need to make it anything else. I even started a Guru freelance account and was doing some work and marketing there, but receiving my payment from the escrow service they have is like pulling teeth. With all of this in mind (very sorry for the length), should I definetly consider getting a small SBA loan to establish an office to work from or should I just work from home like I have and wait until I move to a larger city to get an office?(Also, I heard there were grants given to business owners who renovate old buildings into their place of business by updating everything. Any information on maybe obtaining one of these grants would be great as there are a LOT of nice older buildings here that I could use for an office.)
Question #17:
So not only have the climate change lies been exposed, but the leader has a degree in economics?
Oh, and he was a railroad engineer, and those are the qualifications the PRO-global warming people were bragging about? They kept saying that the "scientists" were right and all the skeptics were wrong, but the MAIN piece used for their 2007 report was based upon 1 report from a guy no one knew much about? Sounds like good scientific process to me, how about you?Oh, and let's not forget the "peer-reviewed" science, isn't that funny?
excerpt...
A high-level inquiry into the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found there was “little evidence” for its claims about global warming.
It also said the panel had emphasised the negative impacts of climate change and made “substantive findings” based on little proof.
ALSO, VERY IMPORTANT is this:
The review also cast doubt on the future of IPCC chairman Dr Rajendra Pachauri.
Earlier this year, the Daily Express reported how he had no climate science qualifications but held a PhD in economics and was a former railway engineer.
Dr Pachauri has been accused of a conflict of interest, which he denies, after it emerged that he has business interests attracting millions of pounds in funding. One, the Energy Research Institute, is set to receive up to £10million in grants from taxpayers over the next five years.

Greg: You want me to listen to an economist who has a VESTED interest in getting global warming legislation passed? You MUST vote democratic, huh?
Question #18:
How can I get a grant for a business?
I want to start my own business but just don't have the money for it and someone gave me a website to go to and you could not get one on there. So how do I go about getting one?Question #19:
Best way to get my BBA?
Okay so, I just got a new job. It's full-time, with erratic hours and somewhat decent pay. (It's commission so we'll see how that goes) But I really want to get my bachelor's degree.. I've decided to pursue a BA in Business.I don't know anything about college and getting my degree.. I'm 22 years old and I think next year in June or so, I will quit my job and focus on school. But until then I will need to apply for scholarships, grants, and student loans.. I don't even know what colleges are near me.. (I live near Concord in California)
Can anyone give me sound advice on my plans? Or any advice on what I should do, if this is not the right plan? I really need educated feedback and I'm trying to get my life together.
I forgot to add.. I will be quitting my job because its hours simply do not allow college + work. I also want to be a full-time student.
I really don't know why you people are telling me about loans. I DON'T WANT A LOAN.
Question #20:
How to start a small business with bad credit and generally fixed income?
I filed bankruptcy with my husband 2 years ago, and I receive only disability payments every month that barely cover my living expenses. I no longer have a desire to use credit cards- I use only debit now and checks, or cash, and I have been up to date with bills since then. I'd like to get a government grant to rent a nearby building for an office space/coffee-shop type venture; anything that would involve the process of writing poetry, stories, books...I have no business experience but alot of ideas and dreams. I'd like to be able to 1) rent or lease property, 2)clean up the property (it's been abandoned for years) 3)furnish with couch, chair, desk, computer, shelves,etc. 4)stock with office supplies, snacks, coffee-type drinks...5)have a few employees for accounting & legal help, cleaning & maintenance, and 6)clientele who are artists of the pen and paper (writer's and poets who want to be published, as I hope to be someday)I live in SE WI. Any serious guidance would be welcome...
